The decline in American birthrates over the past two generations poses the No. 1 threat to the future of the U.S., reminiscent of the challenges that led to the fall of the Roman Empire in A.D. 500 where immigrants—barbarians—were used to offset Rome’s near-zero birthrate.

This problem is not unique to the United States.
Industrialized nations worldwide, including Russia, Europe, China, Japan, and Canada, are grappling with the consequences of low birthrates. The ramifications extend to social programs, hiring, tax revenues, cultural issues, and costs from absorbing more and more immigrants, and military recruitment as aging populations exacerbate the challenges.
Attempts to incentivize higher birthrates have been made by Hungary, Russia, and China, but only Israel has successfully reversed the trend, a phenomenon worth looking into.
The only increases to populations in industrialized countries are based on immigrants from poorer countries and their offspring. Poorer people who can least afford children have higher birthrates than wealthy people who can afford them. Go figure!
As the wealth and educations of nations increase, the birthrates of those nations decrease. Also, as nations become more atheist/agnostic/socialist, their birthrates decrease.
To maintain a population, 2.1 births per woman are needed.
The Caucasian population in the world shrank from 25% to 10% in just two generations and will be less than 5% before 2050. The Jewish population outside of Israel and America is down to 1 million. One million of 8 billion is close to extinction. Such low birthrates cause much more devastation than any climate change, yet it is being ignored.
Is the lack of attention to an obvious problem—a lower Caucasian birth rate and a replacement of whites by peoples from south of the border—resulting due to the population changing fitting the Obama fundamental transformation of America?
Alarming statistics on Fox News revealed that 47% of Americans aged 18 to 50 have chosen not to have children. The birthrate for white women in the U.S. is a mere 0.9, for Jewish women 0.3 and just 1.7 overall, far below the required 2.1 births per woman. Reasons cited include the perceived high cost of raising children ($300,000 for 21 years per child), interference with careers and lifestyles, and a belief that a smaller population is necessary to address climate change.
With 47% of women having no children, the other 53% would need to have four children each to average 2.1. And that will never happen.
After the baby boom of the 20th century, the U.S. birthrate started its descent—the military draft was eliminated and Roe v. Wade became the law. Both are signs of I–me–my thinking.
Now, what can be done to reverse this trend?
First—America as well as other western nations—must come under Conservative, preservation-of-country leadership. The communist/globalist agenda of diminishing our once-great nation must be stopped.
Second—Accept a lesson from the people of Israel.
[T]he Jewish population outside of Israel is almost extinct from a 0.3 birthrate, the Jewish population inside of Israel is growing, with a birthrate above 2.3.
Factors contributing to Israel’s positive birthrate include:
– [T]he practice of Judaism rather than the dominance of secularism outside of Israel,
– [M]andatory military service for all graduating high school students,
– [T]ax laws that favor families with children, and
– [A] constant concern for survival that instills the importance of bringing new life into the world just as how World War II caused the baby boom of the 1950s.
How does that translate to what the local, state, and federal governments in the U.S. should do to increase the birth rate?
 – Implement a mandatory draft for all U.S. citizens at age 18, providing the option of social or military service for 18 months. This will foster caring for others to combat the prevailing [I–me–my] mentality before colleges brainwash students against childbirth and religion.
– Simplify federal tax brackets to a single 35% tax rate on income after high deductions of $25,000 for each spouse and $20,000 for each child. No other deductions. None. A family of two married people and two children will pay no tax on income that is less than $90,000. For 21 years, parents will receive $420,000 in deductions for each child to help with the cost of raising them. In comparison, a single person who receives a salary of a million dollars and has no children will pay about $341,125 in taxes per year, or about 34% of total income.
– Prioritize teaching homemaking, parenting and the values of children in the public education system. Teachers are government employees. We the people need to tell them what to teach. Preference should be given to hiring teachers with children who emphasize the importance of family values.
– Enforce the First Amendment to ensure governments, including government-controlled public-school systems, do not interfere with religious practices.
– Encourage media, entertainment, and corporations to support married couples, emphasize the importance of raising children, and discourage reliance on immigrants to offset the shortage of U.S. citizens. Strict measures against illegal immigration and businesses hiring illegal immigrants should be implemented so that businesses are forced to start programs that support families with children to gain employees.
To save America from this No. 1 threat—the one that helped destroy the Roman Empire—and to make America great again, this low birthrate must be reversed.
